Already have a dead pixel onscreen.

Less than 24 hours after activation, I was looking at a few photos I took, and noticed a pixel near the center that was showing up green when it should have been black. Looks like I'll be contacting Apple on monday in hopes of replacing my phone.

For a temporary solution, try this:

I have one dead pixel in the middle of the screen.

I have 3 issues with my iPad2 at the moment
1. Bad back-light bleeding around edges. It is kind of big bleed on the right edge and small ones on the left.
2. One dead pixel in the middle of the screen.
3. Lots Horizontal lines occured everytime when press sleep button on and off quickly.
What can I do, this is the replaced one that comes in brown box. On of the genius guy say that horizonta lines is normal when LCD screen boots up and as long as it does not effect while you are playing then it should be fine. But my friend dont have this issue so i think it is kind of faulty of the device.
Can I go to genius bar and ask for another replacement?

I went to apple store today and this time one of the staff said they will not replace for dead pixels or screen bleeding. And for the horizontal line issue.. The guy at genius bar said it's normal when LCD screen wakes up from sleep or when it boots up. It's kinda weird I think.

Do I have a dead pixel on my ipod touch I can change?

I appeared a dead pixel on my ipod touch 4, still has warranty, but I wonder if this falls under warranty, to see if what I took to fix or change.
I have almost more than 3 months in.

Maybe. See:

You can always ask for a replacement, but this does not mean that you'll actually get one.
Also, there is no guarantee that your new iPad will be free of faulty pixels.
Any display, no matter from which manufacturer, can have or develop faulty pixels.

I have one dead pixel on my iPad Mini, besides sending it back is there anything I could do?

On my iPad Mini screen, since I have bought it, there has been one small black dot in the middle of the screen (I'm presuming a dead pixel because its absolutely always there). And I'm not too bothered about it but if there was something I could do without having to send it back that would be great!
Thanks
Ryan

My iPad Mini arrived this morning with a dead pixel. I am going through the exchange process now. Hopefully the next one I recieve will not have this problem. Is this a popular issue?

I have a dead pixel on my ipad mini... What do I do? Only had it for almost 2 months.

Got my ipad mini on 2/24/2013 everything's great till I saw a dead pixel on the screen. Is there any solution for me? Apple should cover it as warranty right?

Please take not that there are approximate 800,000 pixel on an iPad 2.

So i have a dead pixel on my rMBP does anyone know if apple will replace it or repair it if i take it to the store?

Its a Late 2013 MBP and its the higher end 16gb ram model
Ive only had it a few months so its under the one year warranty, and it had like 1 or 2 really annoying dead pixels.
Will apple replace it or repair it if i take it in?

You'd better make a reservation of Genius Bar and show them the problem, dead pixels and ask for repair if it's possible.

So i have a dead pixel on my MBP will apple place it if i go to the store?

Hi dizzyspanks,
For information about pixel anomalies such as you describe, I would suggest that you read this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I have 2 dead pixels on my N80

Does anyone know Nokia's policy on dead pixels? Or should I said it back to the Carfphone Warehouse as I've had it less than a month and also it is insured?

Try the Carphone Warehouse first - see if you can get it replaced... to me, a replacement will always be more favourable to a repaired handset...
If not, see what they suggest... though I'd be inclined to take it to my nearest Nokia Service Centre (www.nokia.com/repair) - some of these Service Centres are in Carphone Warehouses though, so you may be in luck...

Dead Pixel on Macbook Retina.

Hi,
I just got a refurbish Macbook Retina 15 inches (2012 version) a month ago and I already have a dead pixel in the middle of my screen. Is it covered by the warranty, should I go to the store to have it fixed.
Thank you very much.

Yes, you can do that, rather than spending $700 on the new display assembly. Its not that noticeable, you see....
Also, there is no guarantee that the newly replaced screen will be free of problems. There are high chances of getting a much more defective screen again.
Apple’s display replacement has always been like a lottery system. You may get Gold or else a Lemon....
I would strongly suggest not to bother to change the display. If I were in your shoes then even I would have done the same thing.
Hope this helps...

Anyone have an iPod 5G with no dead pixels???

i bought my gf a black one online at apple.ca for her birthday on Oct 27 and then noticed 2 big light blue dead pixels 1 week after we received it. I sent it back after the poor girl only got to use it for 1 week , and guess what it's been over 1 month already, and it's still being processed by Apple!!! Although they said they are replacing it, there's still nothing for her to listen to for over a month! To make the story even more ironic, today we both bought a new white 60gig ipod for her dad for christmas, and i just opened it a few minutes ago to upload some songs for him, and guess what! 1 big blue dead pixel right on the middle left of the screen! Sigh... good thing this time we bought it at the local bestbuy store and got the extended warranty, so we are able to just exchange it right away, instead of waiting, for God knows how long, until Apple sends another one to my girl.
I'm just wondering if every single iPod out there has dead pixels, because it is only noticable when we watch videos on it... but when we do see it, it is really bad and noticeable.
Please, if anyone out there has watched movies on their iPod and don't have any dead pixels, let us know!!!!

thx for your replies guys, that gives me some hope... hopefully i can exchange for another one that won't have this problem. greatly appreciate your helpful comments!

2 dead pixels near bottom after 2 months. replacable?

In addition to the two new dead pixels near the bottom edge of my screen, i also have these two LCD issues with my MB:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=942825&tstart=0
and
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=940945&tstart=0
I've already taken it in to try and get a replacement for the lines, but they said it was normal. I havent taken it in for the spots on the black background yet since I had doubts that they'll warrant the replacement since it's only noticeable on a black screen with little light in the room.
i now have two dead pixels near the bottom and am starting to think i should take it in to try and get a replacement. I do have the 3 year applecare plan as well.
What do you think? Anyone had their MB's replaced for bad pixels after a few months of use? Thanks.
Ryan

in the dozens of MB's i've seen in stores, i did notice that only a few had the lines issue that i have. the lines just seem like it's on the coating of the screen.
i think i will take it over to the store and see what they say. i'm not going to get a refund because, i love this macbook, even if it does have flaws, though i wouldnt mind a free replacement :-D thanks.

Dead pixel(s) after 1 month of purchase

I am a new MacBook Pro owner, and just got my laptop a little over a month ago. I have 2 dead pixels on the screen already. The first one, I noticed a few weeks ago and thought it was just a smudge and ignored it. But it hasn't gone away and I researched it a bit and discovered it was a dead pixel (It looks like a small line, thicker at the bottom and thinner at the top of the line). The 2nd one is at the very bottom of the screen and I just noticed it today. I have tried those pixel fixer applications, and they haven't done anything.
I bought my MBP at Best Buy and can't take it back since it's been past the 14 day policy if anything was wrong w/ the screen, to get it repaired or fixed. Plus, I didn't get AppleCare (I'll probably buy it when I graduate college this spring), so I only have the 1-year warranty. However, can if I take it to the Apple store what will they do? Will they fix the screen or just replace it? And since I don't have AppleCare, does anybody know how much it will cost (screen repair vs replacement)?
This is just a big pet peeve of mine since so much money was spent, especially buying it after spending over $1000 to fix my PC (which ended up dead anyways). And I would rather fix this sooner, rather than later.
I appreciate any kind of feedback.
Thank you.

Depending on which country you live in, BestBuy in the US will accept computer returns within the 30 days. Canada is 14 days. Hopefully, the change the 14 day policy in Canada to match the US.
You can still return it to Best Buy and it's up to the discretion of the manager to exchange it since it is a defective product. What have you got to lose in trying?
Or, you can send it back to Apple or take it to the nearest Apple Store if it's close to your area.
